Gourmet Ranch Riches is a 25 reel, pattern matching video slot based upon the successful game Gourmet Ranch. 3 or more adjacent identical crops or animals make a match and trigger a win.

Matches are harvested and ingredients stored. After a match, 2 extra plots are revealed and an extra stage is triggered. Expand the entire farm by revealing all plots to trigger 6 special bonus rounds.

During bonus rounds, extra rounds can be earned, and wins can be multiplied.

How to play

Main game

1. Set the bet amount by pressing the cog button, and then the cash button. Increase or decrease the bet amount with the plus and minus buttons, or set the maximum or minimum bet amount with the arrow buttons. Accept settings with the green tick button or cancel changes with the red cross button

2. Start play with the circular arrow button.

At the beginning of each main game round, only 13 plots of the full 25 are available in the 5×5 farm grid, 3 plots in each corner are hidden.

Three or more adjacent identical symbols, matched anywhere on the grid, in any shape, trigger a win. Matched symbols are removed from the grid, leaving behind empty plots.

If at least one win was triggered, two hidden plots are revealed, and an extra stage is awarded.

Gourmet Ranch Riches : During extra stages, new symbols are generated in any empty plots. If no wins are triggered, the round ends. Trigger 6 consecutive stages to be awarded the bonus game.

On triggering a new round, all plots are cleared and new symbols are generated for each plot.

Bonus game

On triggering the bonus game, the player is awarded 6 free bonus rounds. At the beginning of each bonus round, the entire farm grid of 25 plots is available.

The bonus game is played with the same bet as the base game that triggered it. During bonus rounds, each win is multiplied by the value of the win multiplier at the time the win is awarded.

This always starts at x1, and increases with each additional stage in steps of 1 up to a maximum of x10 (x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, x8, x9, x10).

Once it has reached x10, further additional stages do not increase the multiplier beyond x10. At the beginning of each new bonus round, the win multiplier is reset to x1.

Gourmet Ranch Riches : If three or more wins are triggered during a single bonus round stage, a number of additional free bonus rounds is awarded to the player equal to the number of wins triggered.

For example, if a player triggered a total of 6 wins during a single stage, they would receive 6 additional free bonus rounds.

A maximum of 8 bonus rounds can be triggered at any one time during a bonus round stage. The sum of win amounts from all valid matches is immediately credited to the wallet.

The balance (available amount to bet) is immediately updated with the win amount. Matches are highlighted and animated. The paytable information displays static data – the win multipliers are displayed for each symbol match.

Payouts

Gourmet Ranch Riches : There are six base symbols each with the same payout value. Please consult the in-game paytable information for symbols and payouts.

To open the paytable information, press the cog button, and then question mark button. Any alternative symbol set replacements are visual only; it does not change the payout value in any way.

Payouts are awarded on matching three or more adjacent identical symbols, in any shape and in any position on the grid. Multiple winning matches can occur simultaneously.

The number of symbols in the match determines the payout. Only the largest match for an individual shape is awarded. The payout multiplier is applied to the total bet.

During the bonus game, individual win amounts are also multiplied by the winning multiplier. The sum of win amounts from all winning matches is immediately credited to the wallet. The available amount to bet is updated with the win amount.

Player progression

Leveling Up

Gourmet Ranch Riches : New players start at level 1. To level up, players must complete the three recipes shown. The player level is always displayed with a smiling face icon on the game screen.

There is no maximum level in the game. Six ingredients are used to create the three recipes.

As displayed at the top of the screen from left to right:

Ingredient 1 is used in the first recipe

Ingredients 2 and 3 are used in the second recipe

Ingredients 4, 5 and 6 are used in the third recipe

Players Gourmet Ranch Riches are awarded a number of ingredients each time they create a winning match (equal to the size of the match). To complete a recipe, the player must collect the required amount of each ingredient associated with that recipe. The amount of each ingredient needed to complete a recipe is equal to the current level multiplied by 50.

For example, at level 3, at least 150 units of each ingredient are required to complete a recipe. At level 5 and higher, this amount is capped at 250 units. When enough units are accumulated across all three recipes, the accumulated values are reset to zero and the player levels up.

New symbols

On completing a Gourmet Ranch Riches level, players may select a symbol set from a pool of unlocked sets. If locked symbol sets are available, one is unlocked and awarded to the player. New symbols have no impact on the main game rules – they are a visual change only. New symbols contribute to completing certain symbol related achievements.

Once an achievement has been attained, it is visible to the player in the achievements section of the game. To open the achievements section, press the cog button, and then medal button.
